HIGHLIGHTS
  • • Enjoy a quick and scenic train ride with assistance along the way

  • • Enjoy stunning views of Taroko Gorge, Taiwan’s Grand Canyon

Taroko in a Day is specifically designed for visitors wanting to optimize their time at Taiwan’s must-see attractions. A convenient train ride assisted by MyTaiwanTour staff will take you from Taipei to Taiwan's most iconic, scenic spots featuring the largest marble canyon in the world. As you wind your way through the gorge's scenic road you'll learn the area's history, legends and more. After lunch, you'll spend the afternoon visiting Taroko Gorge, including Shakadang Trail, Swallow Grotto and Lushui Trail, three scenic areas offering different vantage points of the raging river below and majestic cliffs above. Finally, it is better to grab a light meal on the train before heading back to lively Taipei.



*Note: Our crew will hand train tickets at "Taipei Main Station Exit M3" (Add: No. 45, Sec. 1, Zhongxiao W. Rd) or send train tickets to passengers before the departure date. Please be informed to take the train by yourself, and the local tour guide will meet you at Hualien station.

See the amazing Taroko Gorge
This was a great trip to see the Taroko Gorge. The planned trip had to be rescheduled due to a typhoon, but it happened. Alex was a lively and informed guide who made the experince easy and enjoyable.

Excellent day trip! Highly recommend.
Great clear communication, from the company, from the time of booking up until the day trip and the train tickets were dropped off at the hotel. Was promptly met by guide Ivan (at the Hualien train station) and had an excellent day exploring the local Coast line and National Park/Gorge. We visited all the key highlights (stunning landscape) of the National Park and enjoyed a scrumptious local lunch. Despite being a long day I highly recommend; if you do one day trip from Taipei - choose this one.
